Customers Say

Customers love the Construct-A-Letter Activity Center for engaging active preschoolers who struggle with traditional letter learning. Parents and teachers appreciate how it develops fine motor skills while teaching alphabet recognition, with many noting it's perfect for children who can't sit still but need to practice letters. Its simple design with easy-to-hammer nails makes it easy for children to manage independently. Particularly effective for children ages 3 to 4 years old.

perfect for busy 4 yr old who loves construction a

and building. he really enjoys these so much!!! I am a homeschool mama, and I do things a little backwards. I've been hammering down lower case letters, no pun intended. so he needed more help woth uppercase. these captivated his interest for a good 30 mins! I love that I can buy another foam replacement. since it's not in a classroom setting, hopefully I dont have to replace too often
